Results of research, the threat of comet Swift-Tuttle is calculated to hit Earth in 2126, was not expected to happen. When the threat of comet Swift-Tuttle was a reality then there will be a second Tunguska event or the end of time.
"It was at that time (in 1996) have estimated the comet Swift-Tuttle might hit Earth. But the last analysis it was not too threatening, "said Main Researcher LAPAN Astronomy-Astrophysics (Institute of Aeronautics and Space), Thomas Djamaluddin, to VIVAnews, Friday, October 16, 2009.
According Djamaluddin, predicted changes were considering the development of the effects of the planets around the Earth, including the sun. Large planets is that Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranis.
"The effects of this large planet can not be accurately estimated, because the distance is too far away. If the sun might be, "he said.
The closer to the time the predicted event, the data and calculations will be a lot more. As a result, more precise calculations will again.
"Rough estimate, the error range is likely to hit Earth. but after more thoroughly calculated, is likely to miss and far from Earth, "said Knopf.
Celestial grateful Swift-Tuttle comet was predicted to miss the Earth. Because according to him, and the effects of the explosion would be like the events in the interior of Siberia, Tunguska, in 1908. "If it hit the Earth, it is roughly like the Tunguska impact," he said.
A little about Tunguska explosion. Extraordinary explosion 100 years ago in the river Tunguska, Central Siberia, Russia, at 07.17 o'clock in the morning it was still a mystery.
Mahadahsyat explosion that destroys 80 million trees covering 830 square miles. It is also mentioned as many as 80 million trees on fire.
The impact of the so-called explosion of 30 megatons was also said to cause turmoil in the earth's surface until it reaches the 5.0 Richter scale (SR). Not only that, a moment later a blast wave extends for 40 kilometers, ravaged all life.
